Learn how SIPPS and Collaborative Classroom’s professional learning support the following Leading and Learning (L&L) Innovations goals, as outlined in the grant application.
| L&L Innovation 1: Supporting New Teachers | SIPPS includes in-program features that help new teachers build content knowledge and pedagogy as they teach, equipping them with essential skills that will serve as a foundation throughout their careers. Support includes clearly articulated instructional routines, access to recordings, resources for multilingual learners, and differentiation recommendations based on progress monitoring data. Real-time support is also available through chat agents in the Support Center. For schools seeking additional implementation support for new teachers, Collaborative Classroom offers a variety of in-person and virtual learning pathways including year-long or summer-specific learning plans that can be tailored as needed, and one-on-one virtual coaching with Collaborative Coach. |
| L&L Innovation 2: Increase Instructional Supports for English Learners | SIPPS organizes the complex English vowel system to demonstrate its logic and power; the program also teaches phonics and spelling strategies together so they are mutually reinforcing. This is particularly helpful to multilingual learners who have transferred some first-language skills to English reading but need more confidence as writers due to limited mastery of English spelling. |
| L&L Innovation 3: Significantly Accelerate Literacy Learning Outcomes through Evidence -Based Intervention Practices and Project-Based Learning | SIPPS aligns with the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) recommendations for foundational skills instruction (2019) and meets Evidence for ESSA Level 2 requirements.

What Louisiana Educators Say About SIPPS
When asked what is the most rewarding part of my job as an interventionist at MSA West, I would definitely say it’s just getting to see, in real time, my students’ confidence levels grow with each and every SIPPS lesson.
Annette Stassi Jarreau, Reading Interventionist, MSA West, Iberville Parish.
Hear more from Annette in this special spotlight interview.
SIPPS is an amazing intervention. As an ESL teacher, I was frustrated with interventions that were not phonics-based. I used SIPPS with a group of older boys having reading difficulties, especially with sight words. The routines and supports help build confidence and skills with phonemes and irregularly spelled words. My students looked forward to our intervention time. I look forward to implementing the intervention with other groups this school year.
Laverne Simoneaux, ESL Teacher, East Baton Rouge Parish School System
SIPPS provides teachers with systematic and strong routines that are scientifically designed for new and struggling readers. I’ve watched my students acquire new skills and grow their confidence in reading with each lesson. The lessons are predictable (user friendly) but still motivating, and lead your students to success.
